should be able to copy directly from apfs to ntfs using linux, a livecd should do, just need to install apfs-fuse. alternatively you could do it over a network, but that may be slower if you only have gigabit adapters
>>
>>107802983
I dont know much about fuse but I've heard rw is risky? Livecd does seem like the way though you're right. Main thing I'm worried about is file names getting fucked, but idk if there's a way I can script how it would handle that

Why does every single browser fucking suck now?
>>
>>107803349
while i've never touched apfs so i couldn't say how good apfs-fuse is, there's nothing technical about fuse which makes it unsafe for writing. moreover, you're not writing to the apfs volume, you're only reading from it. writing ntfs from ntfs-3g (also a fuse driver) is known to be safe enough™
as for filenames, it should be easy enough to write a script to find files with illegal characters (for dos/windows) and then you can figure out how you want to rename them. i'm pretty sure linux has no issue making illegal file names on ntfs, so you don't need to rename them beforehand. the limitation is with windows, not ntfs
>>
>>107803349
>>107803437
actually there's a third option, run windows in a virtual machine with the ntfs drive(s) attached to it, then transfer the data over a virtual network, which can be emulated as something faster than gigabit

There's no overhead and you can poke holes in the sandbox until it's flooding if you want.

I think there's sort of misconception where people believe running an application through Bubblewrap (Flatpak's sandbox) will slow it down for some reason when that's not really the case. The sandboxing mechanism's all live in the Linux kernel and it is using Linux kernel features to tighten (or weaken) the sandbox. There isn't really any noticeable overhead in doing so. It's like saying a chroot has overhead. No, it doesn't! Not really. There's some extra memory usage from having to load more libraries and that's it.
>>
>>107803286
This. Holy shit even virtual machines have less than a 5% performance impact and we're supposed to believe that bubblewrap will significantly slash performance.

>Unix has its own security and if that's not enough it is a failed system in the end.
Unix security wasn't designed for a single-user running absolutely everything. It works great for daemons running under their own user with their own home-directory and chrooted within that for extra measure and unable to see or do anything else.

>Unix has its own security and if that's not enough it is a failed system in the end.
Imagine being this delusional. Flatpak is the closest thing Linux has to an actually secure application stack and also the closest thing Linux has to a working runtime environment. The old "Unix security" model only works for servers which are running one or a few services and not entire desktop environments and user applications.

This is a laser printer cartridge toner chip. It has a memory which stores information about the cartridge print usage. If you refill your toner cartridge, your printer will still say empty because of this chip. Using a cheap microcontroller connected to ordinary pins and gently spreading the legs so that contact can be made with the correct pin and only the correct pin, one can read the contents of the memory. Subsequently, one can compare the contents of an empty cartridge memory with a full cartridge memory. One can also print a page, then read the contents of the memory again, and note any differences. What is thought to be printer usage information can then be identified and cleared. Doing this, one can refill their own laser printer toner cartridge and use it.

However, the memory chip is also thought to include a microprocessor or logic such that certain memory areas such as serial number may only be written once, or only be written using a secret, unobvious, command or write sequence. Therefore, it is thought printers are made to remember cartridge serial numbers, and when a serial number for a cartridge is remembered as previously exhausted, even if the cartridge is currently reporting to be full, it will either be immediately set to empty or after only a few prints, or will be rejected as an invalid cartridge.

To use your printer, only use printer manufacturer authorized toner cartridges.

Big Print is unironically a real conspiracy. Nothing goodv has happened to people trying to develop/sell alternatives. They want to hold you hostage with expensive, often proprietary refills to keep you in a pseudo-subscription style payment loop.

It's interesting, it says permanent fail state for things like overvoltage overcurrent conditions, if you accidentally plugged your thing in wrong for a second somehow, I guess you could replace the 1 chip?
>>
>>107803162
>permanent fail state for things like
there's lots of ways li-ion batteries can fail. mine failed because it was fully depleted (the circuit design was flawed and had too small of a resistance between the terminals even when not in use).
you probably can't just swap chips out unless you had another custom chip, since the other half of the security is built into the device powered by the battery.
i was trying to gain full access and reset the fail bit, as a manufacturer would do if they refurbished the battery.
i actually tried powering the device using a power supply, and the device said fuck you, you aren't using an authorized battery.
this was DJI chinkshit, btw, which is all but worthless in the US now because of import control and laws against using them for gov't projects.
>>
>>107803270
On laptop batteries packs they have a fuse that can be blown with an external current for permanent disablement, maybe this one is similar?
An overdischarged battery actually is dangerous to charge again so maybe consider that too.

>>107802213
They have cryptographic security on those, I imagine not too dissimilar to the kind on smartcards, IDs, passports and such. This is only as secure as the software on the printer itself of course, so they locked that down too, full chain of trust from boot, anti downgrade, auto updates, who knows what else.

Long story short all the tutorials of programmers i watched online, never liked what I saw.

They all look dead inside, depressed, robotic face and speech completely lacking emotions. And they are content creators-programmers. I wonder what real people who sit at the screen write instructions all day look like. One needs to sacrifice having a fun charismatic personality to be a coder right ?

*John Carmack looks all right though. A bit nerdy but doesn't radiate sadness.

Normies don't care. Only nerds care about operating systems.
Most normies don't even know what their "OS" is or that any update even happened.
You're using a product targeted to and tailored for double digit IQ simpletons and you are complaining?
"You can get away with nearly anything and your customer will probably not even realize what's up or they won't care" is the whole business model of any normie-facing product. It's a big reason why it's so stupidly profitable.
